Hey, just realized about having a inbox message feature that could be useful for the users or website in general on here. I wanted to personally message a user on the site, but all I could do is just look at their profile. I personally think it would be very helpful idea to quickly message a person and connect quicker with the users that you personally want. It would be very convenient and would be a lot more faster than giving out your email and messaging back and forth through there. I could see it really happening. Im sure, this probably been thought of many times way before I even joined this site, but this is just something I wanted to share and see what others might think of this. :)
Scirra removed direct messages intentionally, see this post:

Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
dop2000 Oh thanks, it was interesting to read that. A lot of good points were made in it speaking for having the PM, but I do understand that it could be a hassle and not so easily simple to just do for the site itself.
They could maybe add peoples social links, Twitter, Facebook, etc. to their post. Like under the avatar.
That way you choose if you wish to be contacted, and Scirra doesn't have to take the responsibility for private messages.
newt I think they already do that through the Scirra aracade site. Basically in your profile your allowed to add your social links. But as for direct message to a user, that don't exist.
